~ an irreverent look at UK politics

if you live in Cambridgeshire and found the police too busy to attend your call on the 23rd of December – it’s probably because NINETEEN Cambridgeshire police cars were sent to protect a fox hunt organised by Sir Philip Naylor-Leyland, 4th Baronet.

The police turned up in force and then proceeded to threaten the peaceful anti-hunt protesters with CS spray:

Cambridgeshire police seem to think their job is to protect the wealthy as they go about killing wildlife rather than investigate the robberies, muggings, break-ins and rapes that happen to the rest of us plebs.

After picking up the hunt at their meet and greet in Castor village green, over forty sabs and five vehicles moved to surround the Fitzwilliam with their large field of riders (bolstered by pony club attendees for Christmas) as they hacked north into open farmland alongside the A47, west of Peterborough.

Sabs stayed with the hounds constantly from the off, and using classic voice distraction call and on occasion, the gizmo, the pack were not allowed to hunt at any time and only spoke briefly once.

With the hunt clearly rattled after having their showpiece Christmas meet ruined, the field of around 50 – 60 moved around searching for woods near Marholm to hold up (the Fitzwilliam don’t seem to realise that they aren’t supposed to be cubbing any more), but found sabs in front of them at every turn.

One fox was seen to safety by Norfolk/Suffolk, which hid behind haybales before making his escape quickly.

Hounds rolling on their back, horses bucking from boredom, and the master (Sir Philip Naylor Leyland, worth £175m but clearly hasn’t spent much of that on riding lessons) almost thrown from his horse at one point, this was clearly one of the Fitzwilliam’s least exciting hunting trips, and after they made a call to police to deal with the antis, they retreated and hid in nearby Milton Park.

The drama then picked up, with 19 police vehicles dashing at dangerously high speed to attend. Police were officious and antagonising to sabs and did not want to hear of any complaints of known violent supporters in attendance.

So many police cars attended in fact, that two had a collision outside the entrance to Milton Park… what a thoroughly efficient use of public resources.

Sabs covertly entered the Milton Estate and confirmed that the field were leaving the meet just before 3pm…

No wildlife harmed today, although some police officers pride may have been!

If you support the work of your local sabs, you can buy them a coffee to say thanks – just click here:

The attitude of all those police going to protect law breakers with their horses and hounds to capture foxes and tear them apart in a vicious way, for sport, for fun astounds me! It’s the foxes they should have been protecting, not the hunters breaking the Law!

Well they were only breaking the law ! Lets send 19 policemen to make sure they break the law unchallenged.
Our country and its laws and sentencing are beyond belief !
For goodness sake this has to stop. Throw these murderes into prison for a good few years…they might think twice about ganging up on our wildlife with hunting dogs and twerps on horseback.
As said before…this is 2017 not 1702 !
Parliament get a grip !

shame on the police , absolute shame. but someone controlas them, tells them hat to do.I long to see the back of this despotic and nasty government and to see our country returned to one that takes care of the less advantaged rather than only the wealthy and finding ways to make them and themselves even more wealthy. This trade deal with trump being organised by Dr Liam Fox is exactly what that is all about. Trump actually insists that the deal must be secret!? This must be stopped as it is totally undemocratic and will open the doors to allow drugs, chemicals, pesticides, industrial chemicals and pharmaceuticals that are currently banned here. When this Trade deal with the US was firtst started Dr Lima Fox promised that there would be maximum transparency but, as ever, with the Tories, those words are a total lie and WHY?

What about protecting the Sabs instead of the fox hunting scum who attack sabs on a daily basis. Inflicting some horrendous injuries, they get no justice, even when the event is filmed. Why do the police always protect the bad guys? This world stinks, and scum bags continue to kill our wildlife, it’s disgusting!!!

britian hasnt changed in 300 years, not as far as the toff and plebs go. and they now have the police as servile bootlickers to keep the plebs in their place. the police have never been about protecting the public. only about protecting the rich from the plebs.

Well you can only read one side of the story here, I don’t like the idea of fox hunting nor the idea of packs of dogs or mounted riders blundering through property without consent.
We must remember that the police were called due to “acid attack” according to the article so yes they are right to take it very seriously. It depends how the person making the telephone call explained it as to how the police attention d and how much force they would feel appropriate.

I honestly thought hunting with hounds was banned. So why are the police protecting them? You would be lucky to gey one police car round if you had just been burgled and what’s with the CS gas?? It makes me want to weep to see our police forces acting like serfs and kissind the landed genty’s ar*es! So embarrassing! Have they no respect for themselves and their uniform? This is not how I used to see the police.

What a disgraceful way to use taxpayers money.The rich think they are above the law.Its a democratic right to protest peacefully.I hope this is investigated fully by the politicians who’s constituencies this is in. If this was my area I would want to know who sanctioned such a large police presence.😡😡😡😡😡😡

Disgusting bunch of blood thirsty SCUM!!!
It’s high time they got what coming to them , over privileged FILTH!!!!
As for the cops a fucking DISGRACE!! Protecting that lot of scummy bastards . SHAME ON THEM😡

the reason all the plods turned up was they were told acid attacks against people…ok so thats good right,the stay back threats by police whilst they were assesing the threat was proportional to that threat ‘call’ ..so be as reasonable as we can towards the force here.

That said ,yes,the poilce will not come to you personally if 10 people were throwing acid at you in any hurry because their theatre is ..ie low priority ..but to the toffs (so to speak..full member of society v drug possibl=e dealer ) its a major alert v an ‘oh well’…this is wrong and disproportionate.

Soooo ,if we as a community started to put it on the police that we too are ‘full members’ and so are they ,and mutual respect is shown (for those who deserve it) we can unite (with hope and bated breath) the police will be the police we hope for…ie the most decent law abiding of us to show us the way with a friendly word,get them to police law is my point…and do not give up that hope.

The answer to many woes we all have in my opinion stem from where the police force work from ..ie gov,coperate or wealthy folks intersests vs actual law of protecting citizens trying to uphold said laws…..the end result in this scenario seems that because the police came in such numbers the fox lived to tell the tale if only for a while (if you understand me) and that is the best outcome here…if we can mobilize our /the police to start acting like this or as ‘our’ police again (like the toffs did in this case) then we are on the road to ‘criminals ”WILL” go to jail…. the police will be ‘underfunded and misunderstood by the actual police themselves let alone joe public until we hold them to account…do we ask them to prosecute the lying phone caller or do we ask them to explain ‘what exactly made you come to the assistance of people ..I say the latter… if thats how it works then lets all adopt the same stance,so long as priorty of police is protecting the laws, who cares how we get them on board…. My personal crusade would be arrest IDS and get him on trial ..but hey ho the police are the key for me.

end rant…….. ,the fox won the day hurray but.. we see the faux respond to a phone calls that say ”they’re fox hunting illegally beyond the manor borne”and now we all should get fkin annoyed when they don’t show up in force..make the public servants accountable to the public people ,get vocal and tom keep getting the stories where they don’t show up..and ffs peeps read this stuff and phone MP’s and tell them they wont get supported while they turn blind eyes ,they need to be pushed not trusted..get it.
Go ape shit when police don’t show for the reason they are there,not when they do for the reason they shouldn’t imo.

ps…forgot reason for rant lol…it was of course..massive massive well done to sabs,tom,and hundreds of other law and truth upholders who give their time to justice….and….
its time the police stepped up and let the rest get on with their lives,after all it is your chosen profession policing the law. Get the phones buzzing in 2018, and let them know you know the law,is it not time mr plod ? you know your duty,your vows, your integrity and the reason you wanted to be a police person, arrest the law breakers guys plain and simple,your communities await.

Do wish people would get their facts right, it was 4 police cars from Peterborough and 4 from police rural crimes unit, all protestors were wearing balaclavas, police go on what has been reported until a situation becomes clear, and yes they would rush to any threat of an acid attack, regardless of where, all very well to knock the police but they are limited in numbers and resources fully stretched (you can thank this government) How do I know all this? My son serves in this force!
